Old Spanish Days Fiesta
Downtown Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara’s rich heritage comes alive during the first week in August with the music, dance, and pageantry of Old Spanish Days Fiesta, the granddaddy of city celebrations, reaching back to 1925.

The 5-day party opens with La Fiesta Pequeña — the little festival — on the steps of the Old Mission Santa Barbara, with traditional flamenco and folklorico dance performances.  

Santa Barbara has a variety of hotel accommodations for event-goers to choose from, including many with seasonal offers so you can fiesta all weekend long.

Viva la Fiesta!
